Are you watching this video whilst doing other things? Here's what goes on in our brains when we're multitasking and why (mostly) multitasking doesn't work 👉kzread.info/dash/bejne/poGd29yuf5TXfdY.html

1.Beware of confirmation bias -much more likely to accept information that we already know -actively prepared to change your mind 2.Embrace nuance and complexity -something that seems self-evident can be more nuanced than you think 3.Practice intellectual humility -try to understand other person perspectives 4.Check your sources -lookout of ulterior motive/vested interest 5.Avoid fallacies -straw man fallacy,ad hominem fallacy

This video seems to have been liked and appreciated by many people. Perhaps more BBC staff involved in news reporting should watch it.

Nice, we need critical thinking, especially in today's world. Here are a few more steps: 1. Be tolerant. 2. Consider the feelings of others and yourself. 3. Ask questions. 4. Be skeptical, yet be open-minded. 5. Understand others' views, even if you don't agree. 6. Do research. 7. Don't jump to conclusions. 8. Always be curious.

Why should we be all tolerant and fuzzy? Many bad times in history needed a stronger approach- I think misinformed online perceptions are often dangerous, need confronting, big time.

@CanUDraw Thank you and yes, I try to. :)

One thing I do that has served me well is when listening, reading, watching a video is when finding myself biased more than a bit is to reread as if I'd never heard of the subject before, as if I have no opinion about it. Most times I do find that if I have the desire to persue the topic to learn as much as I can or at least as many different opinions that I can find whatever opinion I did have prior to this changes.

This is a fine video on WHAT to do to sharpen your critical thinking skills. Now I need detailed videos on each point on HOW to apply these skills in everyday situations.

Best video ever. Such thoughtful animations and sound effects - that add to/ clarify/ deepen the message quite beautifully. The content is presented in a succinct and straightforward manner. Kudos.

I really needed to watch this. Thank you!

Critical thinking is good - especially when applied to the modern narrative of sensitive topics.

It really helps in improving my thinking. Thanks for this video

Fantastic video, thanks!

I would advice to combine somehow this product with BBC English Learning and provide some vocabulary explanations. This can seriously boost your audience. I am getting a lot of good information from your videos, as well as brushing up my English.

One of the better videos about improving critical thinking. Your points were all correct, but there are whole lists of biases and fallacies that people should familiarize themselves with. Mentioning a single bias and a few popular fallacies is the bare minimum. In all, I give this an A. It is useful and properly informative.

Hearting comments which only say nice things about this video. Good job BBC ideas!

Intellectual empathy certainly a key nicely done

What else could be better than the collab of BBC and OU? Do have s'more collab Videos??

Yes. Good video. I think "confirmation bias" is the most important item that humans ought to overcome. well said. Thinking from several angles may save us from trouble.

These five simple strategies should be on the chyron on every news airing.

We took critical thinking or logic in grade 13 English. There’s so many more fallacies. Sunk cost fallacy is great for looking at whether to keep a car going. It’s a fallacy to think “I’ve got this much invested in this old car, what’s another repair?” Well, possibly not worth it.

Hard to control The Subconscious and Emotions. Or is it? (Vsauce music starts playing in the background)

be actively prepared to change your mind, beware of confirmation bias something that seems normal can be more nuanced than you think, think of things you know in a broader or more intricate aspect have intellectual empathy, try to understand where another is coming from check your sources ! basics of scientifically methodology

the important is i can answer the question without understanding the following

not understood , it was fast

does that mean that different animals see the sky as different colours? Can we have one episode for that?

This episode inspired me to think critically. Thanks for an immersive content. I'd be happy if you make videos about the differences in left-handed and right-handed people.

Graphics are hilarious!

Thanks, but critically thinking your very last statement re critical thinking skills lead to understanding. Or maybe they increase the vicious responses by your opponent to match your skills of telling them so.

Has anyone at the BBC seen this ?

I find it significant that so few have watched or commented on this since its launch two years ago. Perhaps critical thinking being boring or bad is an idea that sits within 'confirmation bias' of many of us? What do you think?

You want to improve your critical thinking skills? Do this simple thing. When you find some statement to think about---reverse it. Restate it in its opposite form. When you first heard that statement you immediately had an intuition about its truth and meaning. When you restate it in its opposite ( in one of its opposites ), you now have a second intuition about that statement.

Surely, they missed the most obvious and most important tip? Ask questions - lots of them, all in some way related to the thing on your mind. Try to find correct answers / honest opinions.

Discernment > critical thinking

If a person already intelligent he is already know these things conciously or sub-conciously which you taught in this video and if a person doesn't have critical thinking this video is gonna support one's fool logic.

this maybe a hard way to me to do critical thinking at the beginning you can't solve when your not reading a book and not doing to evaluting the problem math first at all you need all process to your goals read some books and dont lost your hope like note talking reading articles and practicing at math sessions i also do this i got only few right answer but you know im not really good at math 😅😆

Nothing like the BBC teaching you how to think :D FO

Came here because of toxic social media. You encourage people to be skeptical and ask questions, but they think that you want them to treat you nicely. No, its called facing the facts. No emotions or feelings. And they dont want to question. Aye

I read a book by a theologian who constantly employed straw-man fallacies. He began an argument with the most extreme caricature of his opponents' position, and then at the end of the argument walked back his extreme view of their position so as to attempt a modicum impartiality.

Critical thinking skills

We are never taught critical thinking because if we all REALLY started thinking critically we would see that the world REALLY isn't what we have been led to believe. The "ruling" (freedom hijackers) class does NOT want people who are capable of thinking for themselves. These types of videos are fine and dandy but they don't change much.

Yes, it is important to listen to the other side. However, if the other side keeps making arguments that get progressively more extreme to the point where their claims are self-contradictory or impossible then you have to accept the fact that the other side is making things up. You cannot use reason, logic, and reality to debate against someone who is making up arguments that have nothing to do with reality. You have no choice but to conclude that they are liars.

Use the art of thinking clearly. Be skeptical. Have it read aloud. Respect the source. Dialogue is more valuable than essays.

“Sealioning?” Don’t you mean trolling? Critical thinking requires knowledge of a subject that most people lack. Believing you know science because sometimes tells you they’re a scientist often leads to failure. Beware more of liars. They are far more prevalent than you think.

😀

Any data to back up the conclusions here?

Gimme number of your editor

I have never heard the term "sea lioning" perhaps you mean "trolling"?

Isn't the claim at the end that critical thinking will lead to a "more curious, educated, and harmonious society" itself an unproven claim that should be questioned and tested? Okay, being open-minded could equate with curiosity and perhaps critical thinking will help with that, but this appears to be something to be taken on faith and not provable by any standards of epistemological validity such as a priori or a posteriori reasoning. I suppose curious in the interest of finding out whether or not a particular argument is sound and valid might be plausible, but this seems rather limited. I don't see how it will lead to a broader form of curiosity. Claim #2--"more educated." Ah, the formal education appeal. I've met plenty of so-called "educated" people who more often than not used their education to support whatever argument they were trying to make. In other words, the outcome had been pre-determined. They knew all the words to say, what postures to take, and how to frame their argument to make it appear above reproach. Their prejudices and assumptions were very much below obvious notice. Educated in a minor sense of being more knowledgeable seems a safer claim to make, although the stakes seem rather low. We need to define what we mean by educated and to determine if this is something that is even testable. And lastly, a harmonious society. This one I have the hardest time agreeing with. It seems to assume that just by adopting a more critical approach to life's problems, the end result will be humanity being miraculously absolved of human self-interest and all the baser passions that whether we like it or not tend to rule our existence, and that our biological programming will somehow be overcome. So could the problems in Ukraine and Gaza have been avoided if both sides had been critical thinkers? Seems naive. In fact, I would venture to say that those in power might actually be hostile to critical thinking if it went against their objectives. This is why the intellectual class is so often under duress in totalitarian states. Harmonious indeed.

Now, after watching this BBC video, go and watch the BBC News… compare and contrast!

There is so much background noise/music to this video thats just bothering my ability to listen

Thanks for this video Now i can understand BBC's biased propagandas more accurately ❤

Once upon a time gradeschool children were taught this; But I guess it didnt bode well for the republicans; so like sooooo many books nowdays; it was eliminated/ banned! And this is a far more useful and benificil thing to learn then algabra!

Science itself dulls critical thinking. Have you ever considered that?? We are supposed to believe that they have all the answers? Think about what peer review means. Only a few selected people can prove or disprove any theories or scientific findings! Confirmation bias at its best right there 😂
